Announcement: Myokit workshop!

Update: The workshop was a great success! Many thanks to
everyone who attended, we hope you had a great time and
will find Myokit a useful addition to your scientific
toolbox. The hand-outs used during the workshop can be
downloaded here.

It is our pleasure to announce the organization of a workshop "In silico
cellular electrophysiology with Myokit", to be held on the first day of the
38th Meeting of the European Working Group on Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology
(EWGCCE), here in Maastricht.

Myokit is a software package developed at
Maastricht University
that aims to
strip away some of the technical difficulties associated with in-silico work
in cellular electrophysiology and lower the barrier for entry into this field.
Modelers benefit from reduced implementation times and the ability to write
generic, re-usable experiment code.

Model equations in Myokit are directly available to the user through a compact
modeling language. Experiments are set up, run and post-processed in Python
which provides graphical and numerical tools similar to Matlab. High
performance is guaranteed through backends in C (using CVODE) and OpenCL (to
run parallelized experiments on CPU or GPU).

During this two-hour workshop, we hope to demonstrate the great utility of this
approach for both experienced modelers and those wishing to take up work in
computational cellular electrophysiology. Assistence with installation or other
technical issues will be provided afterwards.

Because Myokit is under active development, we would greatly appreciate to hear
your comments or feedback at this time.

The workshop is scheduled to start on Saturday 20 September
at 13:30 and will take place at a 1-minute walk from the
EWGCCE meeting venue in the centre of Maastricht. We'll finish up at
15:30, half an hour before the start of the opening speech of the EWGCCE meeting.

Registration is free for EWGCCE meeting attendees.
To register, please send an email to
Michael Clerx
or
Enno de Lange.
More information about Myokit including downloads and full documentation can
be found at http://myokit.org.

We hope to welcome you all there,
with kind regards,
Michael Clerx & Enno de Lange

Location

Computers

As the workshop will take a hands-on approach, a number of computers
with a Myokit installation will be available at the venue. If you'd
like to bring your own laptop, please do! To save time, please
pre-install Myokit on your system.
